The Essential Vermeer: In a past interview you stated that before you begin writing something new, you habitually choose with care the notebook used for your research. Tracy Chevalier is also the author of The Lady and the Unicorn, Falling Angels and The Virgin Blue.His portrayal of the anonymous Girl with a Pearl Earring has exerted a particular fascination for centuries, and it is this magnetic painting that lies at the heart of Tracy Chevalier's second novel. Only a few meager facts of his biography have been gleaned from a handful of legal document and yet Vermeer's extraordinary renditions of domestic life, with their subtle play of light and texture, have come to define a good part of the Dutch golden age. With only 36 (37?) canvases to his credit, the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer represents one of the great enigmas of seventeenth-century art. Huerta John Michael Montias Susan Vreeland
